In fact, I would say it's probably too low! Like, how is prescription glasses to correct vision not an assistive device for a disability, like poor eyesight?
Honestly, what's the difference between a wheelchair and prescription glasses? Both are medical devices prescribed be a healthcare professional to assist with a physical impairment.
Usually, when some system is getting outdated, the system gets replaced or updated to fit the needs. Does this system work for the majority of USA, or not? Do I read it correctly, that the poor people have medicare/medicaid and therefore it's fine for them, the average person has some health insurance and don't mind spending a few thousands of dollars once in a while when his life is in stake?
Sometime who worked for an advertisement provider told me it worked well as a signal, though. This was before it was obsolete. So few people used it that it helped identify its users.
(His employer explicitly ignored it. They used an ML algorithm to assess signals, but they overrode that particular assessment as soon as they discovered it.)
> Constraints you can remove with a flick of a finger are not constraints.
Why not? Who cares how/why they're there, as long as you follow the constraints, regardless of how easy they are to remove, they're still there.
I frequently use this when stuck creatively in music production. "Ok, now I can only use this filter for any sound shaping", or "Make a song using only instruments outputting mono", or "Maximum 10 cables to make a new sound on the modular synth" or whatever. Really easy for me to skip these artificial constraints at any time, they still help a lot.
> Running panels along a railway means the electricity has to be carried all the way back to some point, meaning either giant cables to handle the current or specialized equipment and high voltage transmission lines.
You aware, what always runs right next to a railway right? I mean the capacity might be already saturated for the driving current, but cables next to the railway won't be a new thing.
> Well you only talked with one single person and judge that the Zig community culture sucks?
In fairness, Loris Cro is “VP of Community at Zig Software Foundation” so if there’s someone to judge the community by, Loris has more weight than just about anyone (perhaps excluding Andrew Kelly).
Note I am not agreeing with your parent post, what I have seen from Loris and Andrew makes me interested in trying Zig.
More importantly, he obviously intended it to be the Nazi Salute, instead of the usual random movement screengrabs of other people "assumingly" doing the salute.
Pangram claims they detect AI-generated content with 99.98% accuracy.
I'm sceptical that it can be anywhere near that, but that's subjective based on my instinct, does anyone have more objective data on this accuracy?
There are many things you can do to get it out of your family's life. No phones in the bedroom, No phones after X O'clock, Open conversations about social media with your kids, Unite with them in the fight against social media, block social media from your phones (use only a computer). My own poison of choice was twitter but thankfully, it's become X and I've become ex-twitter more or less. It's liberating. I also vibe coded some software to keep me off these things on my work computer so that's been good too.
It's so great. One thing that I'd like to be changed in PostgreSQL, which may be done in this rewrite, is resigning from the "one connection = one process" design choice and instead handle the connections using threads/tasks within the main process.
This is great stuff, I feel like fast disk (SSD) is a somewhat solvable problem, if you have many disks with the same content and a fast controller (?).
I want my model to help me build up its own infrastructure that instills it with the sort of constraints I want for my project, rather than have it behave generically and automatically for everything.
It should follow instructions incredibly well while inferring contradictions or gaps in logic and surfacing those to the user as suggestions for improvements and persistence.
I really hate how Claude just assumes you want to do X/Y/Z and goes off and breaks everything and you're constantly screaming at it STOP DOING THAT. Instead, it should just do the minimal things while building its own guidance along the way in a persisted memory, like, 'would you like me to do X, now, and in the future?' etc.
I've never really seen the dropped curbs as a hazard, but I guess it depends on how they are made and if they've been designed in from the start.
One "weird" complaint that I have with some accessibility features is that they mount things so that wheelchair users (and children) can operate them, e.g. a ATM mounted at groin height. I'm fairly tall so now I struggle to operate them or have to bend in unnatural angles. It's a small price to pay to make the world navigable to others, but almost daily I run into things that "are clearly designed by idiots". That is until I remember that the average person is below 180cm and right handed.
Not a recent version, not from the last 10 years at least. They dropped even 8/32MB devices. On my Turris Omnia, the bare system with nothing else running takes about 70MB RAM, mostly because of kernel size. Linux itself isn't as light as it used to be.
The best you can do is put DD-WRT on it. AFAIK, they still use kernel v2.6 on devices this old.
I wrote that because I wanted to avoid a sterile discussion on whether or not my comment was valid because the article was not written by a human.
As I said, the actual remark I made is independent on whether this article was written by an LLM or not.
It's still pretty obvious to me that it was, but I'm not sure what kind of "proof" you are looking for, you know as well as I do that it can't be proven one way or the other, so who cares?
> Off the top of my head, I think trained listeners can actually notice differences of 0.3 dB, though this sort of thing is going to be frequency dependent too.
But can they notice the difference on a random track, not on special test audio? Probably not.
> Just play some music on your laptop/phone speakers and move the device around a bit, and you'll hear striking differences in highs and lows.
My laptop has speakers directed downwards, so putting a palm under it (to reflect sound upwards) increases the quality.
